A Close-Up Mental Mystery with Business Cards

Effect:

The performer displays three business cards. One is handed to a spectator, who is instructed to write the name of a loved one on the blank side of the card. They then turn it face down on the other two cards, and mix them up so the location of this card is unknown to anyone. They lay them out in a row.

The performer then uses his mental abilities to correctly isolate the card with the name on it. Finally, without touching that card, he correctly reveals the name itself!

Greg Arce: "I can see this being something to easily carry around...

The magician shows two cards: a regular picture card and a blank face one. The magician stacks the cards on top of each other and the card with the picture visually turns white. After the effect, both cards can be examined by the spectator. Includes a bonus idea by Zaw Shinn. Gimmick requires arts and crafts and some supplies you may not have at home.

Inevitability: A prediction is openly placed on the table. The spectator truly shuffles a packet of ESP cards then (without the mentalist ever touching the packet) deals them out onto the table stopping whenever they want. The prediction, of course, is correct. The spectator's choice is truly a free choice.

Extra Sensory Pendulum: The mentalist finds the spectator's thought of ESP card with a pendulum....

The spectator names a Poker hand. He can change his mind. The deck is spread face down and the five cards for the named hand are the only face-up cards. The deck is squared and spread again: the face-up cards have vanished. For the kicker, the deck is spread face up and all the cards are blank. It was all an illusion.

Uses a special gaffed deck you can easily make at home. No sleights. No memorization. Idiot proof. Automatic reset. No angles. Killer kicker.

A slot machine prediction using three decks of cards.

Three decks of cards in their card box are piled up on the table in front of three spectators. The magician is about to show the spectators why he is not welcome in casinos anymore. Each spectator is asked to pick a different suit (free choice) and is given a deck that they shuffle. Then, the magician removes from each deck the cards of the suit chosen by the spectator without changing their order. At the end, three face-up piles are displayed in a row on the table. The magician explains that the piles represent the spinning reels of...

Hypnotic Monte is a fantastic approach to the classic "Three Card Monte" especially designed for mentalists or magicians that are searching for a magical moment beyond deception or trickery.

As the title suggests, this "Find the Lady" approach uses apparent hypnosis to experience the confusion of not following the money card, in this case, using the colors of the backs as "different card". You don't need to know hypnosis at all to do this piece but if you know how to hypnotize someone, you will find in here a tremendous entertaining induction.

Master's ACAAN looks exactly like described below:

You place a pack of cards in full view. The audience decides on a card and names a number. You remove the cards from the box, deal down to that number, and there it is — their card at their number. But wait, that's not the end...

You reveal that it had to be that exact card at that exact number — any change would have resulted in complete failure. Because, apart from their card at their number, all the other cards are blank.

No switches. No sleights. Just one pack of 52 cards.

The mentalist shows cards representing five drinking establishments and their signature drink, such as Martini or Old Fashioned. The cards are placed face up on a table on stage. The mentalist now invites three random spectators to join him on stage and explains they will play the parts of folks embarking on an imaginary pub crawl.

Because nobody knows how wild this night is going to get, each participant will select a fake ID under which they'll do their drinking. Three cards are shown, each bearing a different humorous name, and mixed face down and given to the participants. The mentalist...

The reader invites the sitter to write a detailed question on a blank index card or business card. A security envelope or coin envelope is initialed by the sitter, and the question is sealed inside the initialed envelope. It is kept by the sitter, never to be touched by the reader again.

The reader then writes a prediction...

An A.C.A.A.N. in which everything was already planned!

An amazing prediction trick in which a spectator freely chooses a card from which an experiment will begin, guided by the deck itself to lead to a predetermined outcome. Based on the "A.C.A.A.N." theme, made self-working thanks to a new stack: "Tricolor".

After introducing a deck of cards and shuffling it, the illusionist hands it to a spectator to cut and complete as he wishes. Meanwhile, he places a blank card on the table and announces that the back of the card contains a Prediction of what will happen shortly.
